I think we will have to see who Bachmann's new primary target (sorry for the pun) is now that Pawlenty is out of the race, and how effective those attacks are. Romney is obviously vulnerable on health mandates and probably global warming, but she didn't torch him at the Ames debate when she was handed a chance to go after Romneycare- just politely expressed disagreement with Romney's view on the 10th Amendment and most people probably don't even remember it. Perry's a clearer obstacle to winning the nomination for her, and he also has a few points where she could hammer him.
Incidentally, how does Bachmann feel about free trade, and NAFTA specifically?
I have been reading those histories of elections Perry has won, and the guy does seem pretty hard to beat. And while I still consider Romney the frontrunner for now, ever since reading Game Change he has reminded me of Clinton in 2008- the party establishment is wary of speaking out against him publicly but desperately wants somebody else to vote for.
